Well, I see iPad always a 2nd Choice comparing it to a Surface.
With Surface you have a real computer plus the simplified version with some apps.
If you're crazy enough, you can install docker or virtual machines on a Surface, or have a full working Office suite for your needs.
When I see people using their iPads, they are always with the mail client opened, that's it.
If you haven't big pretending needs (e.g. surfing and email), iPad is a good choice.
If you need something more (editing documents, do some live demonstration, etc.), Surface is the right one
- simonh 7y agoFair enough, but I've got no real use for Docker. Almost all of my hobby programming is done in Pythonista these days. Google Docs also works fine in iOS, PureFlow is great for diagraming. It's reached the stage now where I'll be sitting at my desktop browsing or playing a game, and I'll decide I want to do something productive with those apps on the iPad and go to the couch to do it. I still work from a desktop and that's not going to change, but I haven't personally owned a laptop in more than 5 years. At home I have a desktop and an iPad, and the latter fulfils all my mobile computing needs, and most of my productive or creative needs.
